@owlielovesbooks we’ll be restructuring the forum for Decks and Memrise related content, so all the community threads will be within the Decks section.
And your Memrise username and password will work for Decks, you won’t need to create a separate one
@jjjhorn I’m sorry to hear that. Please send a message to our Support team about this
https://memrise.helpshift.com/a/memrise-learn-a-new-language/?p=web&contact=1
Thanks
@amanda-norrsken I’ll look into this at the same time and let you know.
Thanks for the suggestion
Probably you are not alone in this (even if you are alone it’s OK), but actually there is nothing for free and that is what some users including me are afraid of.
Unfortunately, for some people they will be shut down anyway. For example, many are working in offices looking in PC screen all day long. They don’t want to look in this screen after their work or they’d rather learn something in subway, etc., when they have idle moment. By the way, it’s not good for your spine bone to spend many time in sitting position.
And they will be able to use Decks on any device that has a web browser and internet access, i.e. tablet, smartphone, laptop, so they can work on their “Decks” without going anywhere near their PC.
There are plenty of other ways to spend your time on a train without internet access, books are great ways to learn languages, and the Audible app is pretty cool as well. I don’t think anybody’s life is going to fall apart because they can’t use memrise on their subway ride to work.
@amanda-norrsken we’re discussing this kind of linking between Memrise and Decks at the moment. For the launch it won’t be there since we’re focused on making sure Decks works well, but we know that community courses fill a gap for more advanced users that Memrise doesn’t.
There will be a simple linking between Memrise and Decks at launch (in the footer and about page).
The problem is that from the technical point of view this experience is not going to be as smooth as via native app. Moreover, in that case you can not use offline mode which is crucial for many users.
Absolutely. But we are language maniacs and dictionary dope fiends, so this is a pretty heavy blow for us. 
The world won’t fall apart. People will just stop using Memrise and will use that other things you just mentioned. The issue here is that memrise was really convenient to have everything on just one place.
And what you say that it could have been worst, that they could have just deleted them. Well, to be honest I think they wanted that. They couldn’t do it because the fire would have been worst for them, not to us. Eventually, because everything is on mobile now. Not enough people will get access to Decks and that will be their perfect justification to shut it down in the future. The same justification they are using now to separate official Memrise courses and the community courses. They say most app user don’t use community courses and that’s the reason they are separating both. They didn’t allow new app users to reach community made courses on the app in the first place. Do you see the situation here??
Since everything is on mobile now, and by mobile I mean smartphone apps. Decks won’t have many users and you can start telling Decks Goodbye.
This is only for those under 30 days. No option for those who have been longtime members.
How??? Please help me!!
From what I have read here, a lot of users found that they had a better learning experience using the web-based version of memrise, anyway! And many found the app rather annoying, with its onboard keyboard that totally dumbs down the recall test. I regularly play Scrabble-type games, so anything with a list of letters is practically telling me what the word is. So, for “serious” language learners, the app has always been a bit of an unnecessary frivolity, because its testing methods make it far too easy to guess words.
There are loads of posts here complaining about the onboard keyboard that gives away too much information.
I often use the browser on my phone to access online dictionaries and other sites and I don’t have a problem with it at all. Once you have the shortcut on your phone screen - which will be made available - there shouldn’t be a huge difference to the previous (not very good) app experience.
Try looking here under “how to request a refund”:
I will be using it
The problem here is not what experience is better or worst. The problem here is the access to it. Most people cannot have access to Memrise courses on a computer and the offline mode was really convenient. Probably not the best experience but it allowed them to study only when they could: when commuting to work for example. Do you want a good experience or the chance to study your target language? If you really want to study your language, you do not really care about what experience is better. You get that that will allow you learn whether it’ll give you the best experience or not.
You and few others. That won’t be enough.
The courses I most frequently use are really big - 3,000 words and more - and I never had any luck downloading them, to be honest, I always got a message saying that the download had failed.
What’s more, I am lucky that I have wifi on the local trains, so the offline mode has never been something I needed.
I’m not leaving memrise/Decks yet 
Let’s hope a few other people give it a chance and we’ll see how it goes.
Yeah, I remember those posts. I can not agree with them, because on the contrary I was very happy with the app. It’s just much more convenient. You can learn anywhere. But see, we don’t have this choice right now.
It’s not a problem at all to create a bookmark. But to reduplicate this app capabilities (flahscards, audio, typing tests - you name it) in a browser is a whole new ball game.
You were lucky indeed. To have access to wifi on the train. In Mexico people do not have that luck at the subways at the capital. Not to mention those of us who live outside Mexico city. Also, people here do not have enough money to use continually a mobile web browser. Lucky you to belong to that privileged minority who for some reason happens to be unable to download such courses on your mobile phone while those less privileged could. Lucky you ^^
You are right that I am privileged, living in a country like Germany and near a big rich city (Stuttgart) that provides wifi on the trains.
And it does seem that the memrise team - which is based in London - has not considered that the offline mode on the app was helpful for people living in poorer countries with less mobile internet coverage.
That said, reading a book in your target language, or downloading a podcast on to your phone, would actually be a much better way to learn a language than using the crummy memrise app.
Please stop.If you let greedy companies do whatever they like they’ll keep removing things and making bad changes that nobody asked about.We users is was made memrise as big as it is so they shouldn’t treat us like that.
